Build pathways for early interventions during critical moments across the lifespan to change the trajectory of illness and improve quality of life.
We will:
- Identify mental illness sooner and ensure timely access to care by forging connections across health, education and social sectors that build capacity for early intervention and prevention beyond the hospital setting.
- Invest in the healthy development of children, youth and emerging and young adults by facilitating rapid access to high-quality services, creating new treatments and working with partners to develop public health approaches to preventing mental illness.
- Advance knowledge of brain development and create innovative ways to intervene at key points in patients’ lives to promote brain health, improve outcomes and prevent people at all stages of life from developing serious and chronic illness.
- Adopt a public mental health approach that focuses on health promotion, prevention of mental illness and early intervention.
